pussy willow

Second sign!

Spring is definitely here.  Not only because of the nice weather we've been having for the last couple of days, not only because of the pussy willows appearing on the branches.. One can tell as soon as the bugs are out ;).  I have found these inside my house yesterday and decided to let them out so that they can find some food and survive till summer.  Such lovely creatures, ladybugs! Always bring a smile. I hope it brings one for you, too! Happy Friday, guys! Kasia

First sign!

Finally!!! First signs of Spring! I took a drive today to see if there are any pussy willows finally out there and to my great pleasure I have found some!! My trip was rather eventful, because not only I have found what I was looking for but also what I wasn't.. You ask, what else I found? Well, a bit of car trouble :(.  As I stopped by the side of the road to pick up a few branches I have turned on my hazard lights thinking, better safe than sorry, even if there was no traffic on this particular road.  As I was getting ready to go back home I reached to turn off the lights and they wouldn't. What's more, the switch, after being pressed slightly harder than before decided to disappear under my dashboard... Needless to say, after I got home I had to drop off my lovely branches and drive me and the kids to the service station to have my car fixed.. I bit ironic to drive to the service centre just to have the hazard lights fixed, don't you think?! ;D On the way there I've met a lot of very nice people who on, almost each set of red lights, asked me if I was aware that my hazard lights ware on.. I thank you strangers for noticing and taking time to let me know! It was very kind of you! And though I was fully aware, this time, I am very happy to say that people still care!  And the best part is that I have finally gotten to see the first true signs that Spring is here and that I am able to share them with you!! And though I am sure we still are going to face uncertain weather I wish us all a very happy Spring!!! Kasia
